Default Off Road? Limitations concerns?

NO, I'm not planning on going really OFF ROAD, but we do have need to drive around the in-laws farm and there may be times where we'd have to go through some deeper mud puddles or mud. I know the Highlander is NOT an FJ or even a Tundra, but what limitations does the Hybrid put on it's off pavement capabilities?

I noticed in the sales literature that it says 'Hybrid to not be driven off road' but when I asked the sales person about what constitutes ' off road' he didn't seem to think that light farm driving would be an issue.

If I need to get into deep mud or true 4x4 needs, I'll hop in my '78 F150 4x4 with the 33" mud tires, but I need to know if I need to keep the Highlander strictly on the pavement and packed gravel?

We are also planning on going camping this summer and I want to know what limitations we'll have to consider.

Some people would say to not drive it any place you can't drive a car, but I have taken my cars some pretty dirty places.
